Protein attachment to the surfaces and matrices of hemodialysis (HD) membranes is a highly undesirable occurrence since it triggers the activation of complement and results in severe health complications for HD patients. Nonetheless, there has been a noticeable absence of systematic investigation into the connection between membrane properties and their effectiveness in the dialysis procedure. This research endeavor seeks to offer a thorough comprehension of the competitive tendencies of three human serum proteins (namely, albumin (HSA), fibrinogen (FB), and transferrin (TRF)) to adhere to clinical dialysis membranes constructed from polyethersulfone (PES), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and polyvinyl fluoride (PVDF) polymers.
